If youre not sure whether anonymity online is important, just take a look at this new Kickstarter project, which has already raised $283,000 of its $7,000 goal.

Its called Anonabox, and its an open-source networking device that routes wireless and wired Internet traffic through Tor software. Tor is free and works by first encrypting your digital data and then bouncing it around the Internet through random computers.

You dont need Anonabox to get Tor, but for guarding against any activity outside of Web browsing, Tor can be a little complicated for the average online privacy-seeker.

Thats where the $45 Anonabox comes in. Just run a cable from your Wi-Fi to Anonabox, which creates a secure wireless network. Or, if you want to hardwire into the network, run an Ethernet cable from Anonabox to your computer.

On top of secure Web browsing, youll be able to send email, instant messages and share files.

According to Wired, Anonabox isnt the first plug and play Tor router, but others, such as the Safeplug, have by criticized for security flaws.

Because Anonabox is open source, its developers say that if there are any flaws, theyll be easily fixed.

Educators are grappling with questions over how much of the Internet should be accessible to students as they distribute tablets and laptops to supplement classroom learning.

"It's a balance between arming our kids with the ability to make really smart choices and making those choices for them in a filtering environment," said Scott Muri, Fulton deputy superintendent for academics told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (http://bit.ly/1w1vQN7 ).

The American Library Association reviewed how school systems comply with the Children's Internet Protection Act, which was passed in 2000 and is meant to block students from accessing sites that are considered obscene or harmful. However, some school systems have gone beyond what federal law requires and have banned social media, email and media streaming sites, according to the AMA.

"We're censoring big chunks of the Internet because we're afraid of certain content," said Deborah Caldwell-Stone, a deputy director with the American Library Association. "Rather than teaching kids how to handle that and . how to be responsible Internet users, we're just blocking things."

The newspaper reported that Fulton County uses a web-filtering committee of teachers, principals and administrators who can make exceptions to which sites are blocked on school-issued devices.

DeKalb County schools Chief Information Officer Gary Brantley said teachers can override filters to show sensitive material if it's determined to have educational value. Brantley said educators should be given the flexibility to make their own judgment calls in terms of what students are able to access online.

Gwinnett schools spokeswoman Sloan Roach said the district allows a review process to allow restricted sites for instructional reasons.
